Psychosis care for Manchester families
Families in Manchester often contact us after noticing gradual changes in a son, daughter or partner. Psychosis often first appears in the late teens or twenties, including among students at Southern New Hampshire University, UNH Manchester and Manchester Community College. When a higher level of care is needed, we help coordinate with services such as the Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester.

Care for the Manchester community
Manchester patients often tell us that finding a psychiatrist who is taking new patients was the hardest step. Some live within walking distance of Elm Street, others in quieter neighborhoods near Lake Massabesic or the Goffstown line, and many juggle shift work at the city's hospitals, schools and warehouses. Video visits let them keep appointments without fighting city traffic or finding parking downtown.
When more support is needed
When someone needs more intensive or specialized care, such as a first-episode psychosis program, we help with referral and coordination.
